The consensus of the commission is to recommend proceeding to the preliminary plan stage for Ra~ey Ridge and to get the Park Board and the County Highway recommendations taking into consideration the comments from the City Engineer and the letter from Consulting Engineers Diversified, Inc. 2. Review B-1 Zoning for Expansion of Uses Chairman Peterson said that at~the last meeting, the commission received a request for a conditional use permit for a rental center because it was not listed as a permitted use, so the commission wanted to review the permitted uses at this meeting. Building Official Berg said he felt rental shops,'mini-storage building and assembly shops wheme no manufactuming is required should be included on the "permitted uses" list. Chairman Peterson said he felt there would be a problem recommending additional allowable uses because of the hassle and expense of holding a public hearing for the ordinance amendment. Kathy Schneider asked what the main criteria were for putting a use on the "permitted use" list. Building Official Berg said the qualifying factor is that the final sale be to the consumer. He said that Mr. Janson's rental shop was not specifically listed% so therefore, it was recommended he get a conditional use permit. Ben Deemer said a person pays a sales tax on a rental item; therefore, he felt it is a permitted use. He suggested changing UB and B-1 to the same definition. Motion by Chairman Peterson and seconded by Gerald Zimmerman to recommend that city staff us& as a basis for determining permitted uses the'general definition of "business" listed in the City Code. Motion carried 5-0. Ron West abstained.
